Gelatin-Based Composite Nanofiber Membrane

Hydrophilic, antistatic, breathable

By dissolving gelatin in a deep eutectic solvent and co-electrospinning with polyacrylonitrile, the nanofiber membrane combines hydrophilicity, antistatic properties, and breathability, outperforming pure PAN membranes.
